TOP COVER Top Cover ·In the top cover department our lab technicians select appropriate materials according to the prescription and laminate them to the shell (arch support) of the orthotic. ·Layers of padding are applied. These layers can consist of different density foams to increase shock absorption and decreased fatigue. ·The layers of padding can be used to push up on certain bones or unweight problem areas of the foot. ·Depressions can be cut into the mid-layer to offload a particular bony prominence. ·Marathon Orthotics offers a vast spectrum of materials (see catalogue) to insure the practitioner has all necessary options in aiding their patients. |
